In its original dimensions, it was introduced as a desk, but charlotte perriand revisited it and later updated it with cassina in new interpretations more in keeping with the needs of modern lifestyles.

The series also includes square or rectangular side tables with top in glass, textured or tinted thermoformed glass and and painted in numerous colors from the le corbusier palette, as well as the outdoor version for exterior use.

The table, in its original size, which was originally presented as a writing desk, was revisited by perriand in 1984, and relaunched by cassina one year later, offering new features to keep pace with contemporary needs. The minimalist design of the frame is revealed in the uniqueness of the chrome finish on the tubular steel uprights and the coloured lacquer finish on the crosspieces.
